miscellaneous question

[JeeLet]

Thank you for your philosophy, I am less bothered.

so I keep asking questions

the image panel widget has 3 types:

• Field (test)
• URL (test)
• Disk /??)

I tested with an image, png or jpeg format, large and small format, but nothing.

in Location there is : /home/toto/image/sablineigem.png

this function is for What ????

and a local webcam is possible ???

What do you have configured on the mycontroller.yaml in directories in secure_share and insecure_share,

directories:
  data: /mc_home/data
  logs: /mc_home/logs
  tmp: /mc_home/tmp
  secure_share: /mc_home/secure_share 
  insecure_share: /mc_home/insecure_share

• insecure_share - works without login
• secure_share - works on logged in session
  I would recommend to go with secure_share in most of the cases.

Usage example based on the above configuration:

• I have put an image in /mc_home/secure_share/toto/image/sablineigem.png
• In dashboard I can access as follows, /secure_share/toto/image/sablineigem.png
  

The same way for insecure_share can be added in dashboard. in addition insecure share can be accessible outside dashboard like this,

• /mc_home/insecure_share/toto/image/sablineigem.png >> http://localhost:8080/insecure_share/toto/image/sablineigem.png

this does not work

with user root , create directory /image
in /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home/secure_share/image
with the images in it
(small and big size and .png .jpg .gif)

I tried adding in mycontroller.yaml

directories:
  data: mc_home/data
  logs: mc_home/logs
  tmp: mc_home/tmp
  secure_share: mc_home/secure_share
  insecure_share: mc_home/insecure_share
  image: mc_home/secure_share/image 

I restarted MyC ..... and still nothing

I let the cake cool down and come back later

Well, that's okay, we'll just put it aside.
We'll see later.

I will probably do a new installation.
I'm testing tomorrow a webcam and mjpg-streamer

@JeeLet I think I found the issue in your setup
move the mycontroller/mc_home into mycontroller/executable/mc_home

your files should be under mycontroller/executable/mc_home/secure_share or mycontroller/executable/mc_home/insecure_share

[JeeLet]

I would say only one thing
BRAVO

a question: what software do you use for the graphic "architecture.png" ??

[JeeLet]

so this part is not good ???
Re : Armbian - MyC V2 - install

create directories to keep image files to show it MyController dashboard
	sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home/secure_share
	sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home/insecure_share

[jkandasa]

@JeeLet said in miscellaneous question:

Yes, should be as follows,

sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/executable/mc_home/secure_share
sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/executable/mc_home/insecure_share

To avoid all the confusions, I would say, You can keep everything inside mycontroller directory. Not in mycontroller/executable

@JeeLet said in miscellaneous question:

I use google doc and insert "drawing" download as png

[JeeLet]

a test with LibreOffice Draw

[JeeLet]

for a clearer view of the state, a mental comfort.
on which scale we are ?

yes one more thing can be possible

pdf vue

[jkandasa]

@JeeLet I will check the possibilities on the chart. to track this I have added GH issue: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/console-web/issues/15

[JeeLet]

on the drawing I forgot to put also the
start/end the mini/maxi 0/50
